Your absolutely right,

In fact Apple has for all practical purposes “purchased” LQMT in s manner consistent with their operating practices. They invested enough money in the company to keep them alive. Got ownership of CE and got ROFR. Invested heavily in research and patents. Now if they want to commercialize they can either goad the company into finding the resources to expand or they could throw more money at them to do so. In the end, Apple has the company by the short and curlies, blocks competition but doesn’t have the burden of running a manufacturing facility on a day to day basis.
